The festive season is now again something of the past, everybody is back at work and the "rat race" started all over. Here it is also the case. But, here is a few things that happened while we were all celebrating in the festivities:

Ek het vir Manlief vir Kersfees 'n "fleece" Pikkewyn gemaak. Ek het die patroon uit 'n tydskrif gekry. Manlief is tans pikkewyn-mal en hierdie was die perfekte geskenk aan hom.I made a fleece penguin for Hubby for Christmas. I found the pattern in a magazine. Hubby is currently penguin crazy, so this was the perfect gift for him.

Speaking of Christmas, I decided to make another Christmas quilt this year. Since I want to quilt this year as I feel like it and not because I must, I decided to start now. Nobody knows how much time I will have to spend on quilting this year. I also got this pattern from a magazine.

We started the New Year with a
big "bang". On 3 January, Cyclone Dumile passed us by on the West. The cyclone hit our
sister island - Reunion - full on, but only passed us at about 300km
away. Despite that, we had some strong winds and rain. Although is was
only a category 1 cyclone, it does give you the idea of what Mother
Nature can do.

Hello! There you are back in blogland! :) The penguin is just too cute! Looking at your Christmas stitchery makes me want to stitch too, but these days I'm busy with those NYBeauty blocks I missed last year... Have a wonderful week!
